. >>> now to the crisis in japan. japanese engineers said today the only way to avert a radio active catastrophe might be to bury the reactor in sand and concrete. the suggestion came as the japanese government raised the crisis to a level five. that is equivalent to when the core partially melted down at 3- mile island in 1979. some see the idea of burying the reactor as a sign that peace meal steps such as dumping water on the plant are not working. >>> this afternoon radiation from that crippled nuclear plant was detected thousands of miles away in sacramento. but the amount of radiation here is said to be so small it causes no health threat. ktvu's john fowler live where scientists are also trying to pick up signal. >> reporter: in the last hours, they've told me minute of the two isotopes have been found here in the bay area. now, they are at levels vastly lower than can be detected by ordinary detectors like this. this is registering normal background about 1.5. that's low actually normally. these new detections

. >>> today the prime minister of japan said the situation at the damaged nuclear reactors is grave and maybe worse than first thought. there maybe a breech in the core of reactor unit three raising fears of more radiation leaks. crews also found water that is ten thousand times more radio active than normal. people who live around the facility have been told to stay indoors or move to other areas. >>> two weeks after the earthquake and tsunami hit japan the death toll has now hit 10,000. that number will most likely go much higher because 17,000 are still missing and hundreds of thousands of people who lost their homes still have no power or hot meals. >>> today the first cargo ship arrived at the port of oakland. ktvu consumer editor tom vacar is at the port port of oakland where that ship is unloading. >> reporter: you will see the korea, it arrived today and some people wonder is this black ship radio active? after leaving yokashama it quickly arrived in oakland. people at the port are not concerned. >> it doesn't raise concern for me. i think it'll be in small enough value that it
